Pretend you have real jobs on the RNC dirty tricks squad and go out and find us any real dirt, wrong-doing, lies to voters or any substantive reason why Kerry would not make a great president. One rule: the reason cannot be that he's not in your party or is a little too liberal for you. Also no silly name-calling or blabbering about trivia like hair-cuts and ketchup. Just real issues and serious actions which could actually prove to moderate swing-voters (who decide all national elections so they're the only ones who count) that Kerry isn't a better and more qualified man than Bush. Go on and have fun looking. Don't get back to me unless you find something real and worthy of serious debate. The reason I insist on this is because I'm only interested in important fact and performance, and have already done this search myself many times. I've already talked to a few GOP leaders and asked them the same. They came up with nothing except "he's a liberal". That doesn't count. Because John is not liberal on everything by any means. BTW, if I had found anything objectionable or thought Kerry was too liberal to win in Missouri (for instance) I would not be solidly being John now. To win, the Dems need a fairly moderate guy, and yes even one who votes to give Bush war powers when the country leans behind that. To clear one thing up, I'm a grown man. So leave out the sexist jokes. You missed the target completely. Neither am I "in love" with Kerry, I just highly-respect and seriously admire him as our best choice for the next leader of the free world. I believe he's better than Clinton or Gore, much better than Bush and could prove himself the one who can really fix all the major problems we are suffering through now. It wont be easy but I think he has the best chance of success. Just the facts, "Ma'am". Go for it now.
